Check out photos at this location.

Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, celebrated the 40th anniversary of "Blue Öyster Cult" — unleashed in 1972, the eponymous debut album from America's heaviest psychedelic metal band presaged punk, thrash and hardcore — with the release of "Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection", a monumental career-spanning BLUE ÖYSTER CULT library comprised of 16 CDs (the full official canon plus two discs of rarities) and the mythic "Some Other Enchanted Evening" DVD (a blistering concert video from 1978). The highly-collectible boxed set was made available on October 30.

"Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection" brings together the group's 14 official Columbia Records albums — including newly-mastered editions of "On Your Feet Or On Your Knees", "Fire Of Unknown Origin", "The Revolution By Night", "Mirrors", "Cultosaurus Erectus", "Extraterrestrial Live", "Club Ninja" and "Imaginos" — alongside two newly-curated bonus discs: "Rarities" and "Radios Appear: The Best Of The Broadcasts" (a special collection of classic live performances).

In addition, the "Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection" box set comes with a special download code good for four live concert broadcasts as well as as a forty-page booklet chock-full of photos and liner notes from celebrated music writer and guitarist Lenny Kaye.

Originally formed in Long Island as SOFT WHITE UNDERBELLY in 1967, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT combined adventurous lyrical themes with an aggressive instrumental sound. With passion and intelligence on display in equal measure, BLUE ÖYSTER CULT became the thinking fan's rock band and a sign of life in a sea of dull, anemic soft-pop. Anthems like "Godzilla", "Harvester Of Eyes" and "Don't Fear The Reaper" stretched the boundaries of rock topics while lead guitarist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser became a hero to legions of budding axe-wielders. The band's mystique extended to their album artwork, resulting in some of the most distinctive and iconic LP covers of the rock era. "Blue Öyster Cult - The Columbia Albums Collection" gathers the essential pieces of the BLUE ÖYSTER CULT story into one mind-boggling totality.

Pretty sure that was on the list, as Albert said he was going to sing another song but they ran out of time.

Too bad they can't reunite for more than one show.....

Most of the other bands from their era (70s) have 1-3 members and call themselves the 'band'....they could go out with all 5 and really be BOC.

This band is soooooo much better with this line-up. I saw the current touring line-up a couple of years ago and it was pretty bad. They were a shell of themselves. The Bouchard brothers bring such a powerful rhythm section to this band. I can only hope they will continue to play together and tour.

Being a huge BOC fan this was a great thing to see albeit via internet happen.

I would LOVE for the original line up get back together.
Having said that the current line up is very good.
I have seen them many a time.

Even as a slightly more than casual fan, I would DEFINITELY pay to see this if it went on tour. I always loved the old drummer's style and his vox.
I saw 'BOC' a few years back and was kinda disappointed to see three 30 year old guys up there with Buck & Bloom - it just didn't feel right.

How could there be ANY BOC show w/out Cities On Flame.

Saw this band many times in their heyday. Saw Aersomith open for them in Bloomington, IN. Always a great show.

Kudos too, for best live album title ever.

On Your Feet, Or On Your Knees

That's just bad ass.

Blame the union workers. They ran out of time and dropped Cities on Flame, and that sucks with the original guy there to sing it.

At least Albert was greeted with open arms, and everyone seemed happy. In fact the Bouchards were REALLY happy and into it, and that was great to see.

The vocals could really benefit from a little reverb.

Well, the live vocals were always terrible with BOC. It needs a bit more than a little reverb.

With all due respect: They sound like they haven't played together in years and it really shows, though the footage from the last decade wasn't any better.
